The Bhil tribe happens to be one of the great and most widespread tribal indigenous groups in India that lives in Madhya Pradesh. These people were also identified for being forest-dweller and nature dependants, from which they used to manufacture various traditional tools and kitchenware. Very simple yet well-crafted is the wooden spoon: a dual-purpose article-unlike the functional-symbolic of culture. It is carved skilfully from one piece of wood and generally local to the trees in the district of making of the spoon. It has a long handle with a small round head, which is convenient for stirring or serving. The broad end of the handle helps to grip firmly irrespective of the weight of the food inside the spoon. Thus, while the entire emphasis on the spoon's design is on utility, the carving and aesthetics represent the artistic flare of the tribe and their bond with nature.
These wooden spoons were, in fact, household cooking instruments in the earlier centuries and are still very much seen used to prepare heavier food, such as porridge, lentils, and rural stews, under high temperatures and heat-related provision. Due to the nature of wood, it is going to be very heat resistant and tough and will then leave the Bhil tribe's traditional and ecological lifestyle with green practices. Almost every spoon is an individual carving that, in rare cases, would have simple carving or designs signifying the fine arts of the tribe. It symbolizes self-sufficiency, sustainability, and cultural heritage; essentially, a small but significant entity in Bhil tribal life.
